TCBS AGAR (VIBRIO SELECTIVE AGAR) (VEG.)

TCBS Veg Agar / (Selective) is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones, thus making the media free of BSE/TSE risks. TCBS Veg Agar is the modification of TCBS Agar which was first formulated by Nakanishi and further modified by Kobayashi et al. It promotes rapid growth of pathogenic Vibrios after 24 hours incubation at 37?C. The contaminating non-Vibrios are suppressed.
